Back in the day in rural Kentucky, there was an awful lot of folks who didn't see no need for no book 'larnin. Still a lot of them out there, just not as many as there used to be. I know adults who can't read or write.

They have a Fleet Foxes vibe to them, stylistically. This new album is different though from the first one, which was amazing. I've only listened to it twice all the way through, but I like.
And I am a big Fleet Foxes fan. I need to go record-shopping and grab that new one.

Intensely talented HS player who started at CovCath and ended up at Highlands. His eligibility during and after the fact of his amazing HS career was cause of much controversy on this board, significantly by folks from Bell Co., as they had a great team that year and gave Highlands all they wanted in the playoffs in an epic game.
Highlands won state that year, but had to vacate several wins because of Mitchell's participation. I guess they...

I did pretty good for a change. Had the Oaks-Derby Double, a show ticket on the Oaks runner-up, two Derby exactas and had an across the board bet on Good Magic, which placed 2nd. First time I've cashed tickets on Derby in years. But I'm not sure I wasn't still drunk from yesterday's Derby party when I headed up to Turfway this afternoon.
Whew. Great weekend.

I was not fortunate to have played HS FB, as my school didn't have it when I attended. So this is all observation. I have attended a game at Gallatin Co., though, about 5-6 years back. I'm glad they've got permanent lights. Trying to photograph under those generator-powered lights was a nightmare.

There was about 55K there yesterday from what I heard. Keeneland when it gets more than 25K inside is extremely cramped. Last time I went for BG Stakes I just stayed in the press box most of the time because I hated dealing with the crowd.

Anybody seen a list of the will-pays for the Oaks-Derby Double? I'm alive with 5 options.
Would've been better for me with the 10 over the 5 in the Oaks rather than the 14 over the 5. Had 10/5 exacta key and some money on the 5 to show.

I agree. But, by the same token, I will work off a personal anecdote. A friend of mine has managed to drag himself out of the deepest, darkest pit of smack addiction, with a side alcohol addiction to boot. He doesn't drink anymore and has stayed completely clean for more than a year, with his only current vice being weed. Seems to work for him.
